My little warden of the Black Shroud She's my in-game avatar, so I made her to look like me. I like to think she loves everything related to plants and natural remedies, and has a deep respect for nature just like I do (I live right next to a forest, where I spend a lot of time hiking and chilling). Fittingly, I also made her a botanist and alchemist.

This is a shamelessly 100% self-indulgent drawing It has everything I love - my favorite race obviously, with my favorite weapon, at my favorite time of the day (dawn), in my favorite setting (forest), using one of my favorite color combinations (dark blue/soft pink).
Style-wise, I went for a full pencil/ink anime drawing instead of my usual realistic painterly rendering, because I thought it would fit a Lalafell better (I feared a realistic Lala would look a bit uncanny, and too different from their in-game appearance). This was the perfect occasion to explore another style, as well as paying a little tribute to the gorgeous work of Akihiko Yoshida, which I discovered and fell in love with by playing Bravely Defaut a few years ago
For people who might be interested, I posted the lineart and the early sketches in my Sta.sh: [LINK]

It was very fun participating in this contest. Good luck, everyone!
